Pete Davidson to quit SNL amid rumours of move to Australia with Kim Kardashian

Pete Davidson will film his final Saturday Night Live show this weekend, according to reports in the US media.

Variety Magazine have announced that the comedian is about to end his eight-year stint on the iconic American programme, adding further fuel to the rumours that he is preparing for a move to Australia with his girlfriend Kim Kardashian.

The pair are expected to set up base Down Under for a few months while Pete, 28, films his new movie Wizards! in Far North Queensland, where he is set to star alongside British actress Naomi Scott.

Pete, from Staten Island in New York, joined SNL as a featured player when he was a relative unknown in 2014, becoming one of the youngest cast members in the show's 47 seasons.

But he is now an established stand-up comedian as well as an actor, whose movies include the semi-autobiographical The King of Staten Island.

He is perhaps just as famous, though, for an impressive dating back catalogue with his exes including Bridgeton actress Phoebe Dynevor and Underworld star Kate Beckinsale, as well as Kaia Gerber and Margaret Qualley - the respective daughters of Cindy Crawford and Andie MacDowell.

Pete was also engaged to singer Ariana Grande but their relationship lasted less than a year and he started dating Kim after she hosted Saturday Night Live in October.

The 41-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star had filed for divorce from rapper Kanye West eight months before the pair got together.

Earlier this month, Pete and Kim attended the Met Gala as a couple and he is now expected to talk about their romance in his upcoming Netflix comedy special Pete Davison Presents: The Best Friends, which is due to be premiered on June 13.

The pair have grown so close in the past few weeks that fans have even suggested Kim has started to talk like her new beau.

In an recent episode of The Kardashians, the fashionista was talking to mum Kris Jenner and close friends Simon Huck and Phil Riportella about Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker 's upcoming wedding when she seemed to slip into a Staten Island accent - similar to her boyfriend's - as she joked around.

Kim was born in Los Angeles and has spent her whole life in the city and viewers immediately took to Reddit to comment on the change in her voice with one saying "kinda cute how Kim has started to sound so much like Pete".

Another wrote: "This is so candid. I wonder if she has always been like this and the mask is slipping, or she is changing her personality to match Pete."

A third went on to exclaim: "WHOSE F***ING VOICE WAS THAT?!?!?! I’m creeped the hell out. Kim needs an exorcism!"
